Igus Energy Chain Keeps Rolling After 10 Years of Operation
December 4, 2018
The world’s longest energy chain, which was manufactured by Igus, recently completed a decade of uninterrupted service at a coal power station in the Czech Republic.
The chain, which measures 615 meters, conveys coal to a stacker from the periphery of a power station operated by the CEZ Group in the city of Tušimice. The coal is stockpiled in a long heap, and the long e-chain supplies the stacker with energy, data, and media. igus, the Germany-based manufacturer of motion plastics, runs its North American operations out of Providence, R.I.
